Eagle Air (EGU, Entebbe) has announced it will resume scheduled passenger flights to the South Sudanese settlement of Yei, one year after it was forced to withdraw citing the harassment of its crews by South Sudanese officials.

In a statement, Eagle Air said the 2x weekly flights from Entebbe to Yei would commence from July 2 onwards.

The Ugandan carrier also offers scheduled flights from Entebbe to each of Pakuba, Adjumani, Gulu, and Arua in Uganda as well as Juba in South Sudan. It operates a diverse fleet of Let 410UVPEs, Beech 1900Ds, Piper (twin piston) Seneca PA34s, and Cessna (single piston) 206s.
